Regardless, you said "Sometimes we confuse facts with truth." There's no "confusion" going on there. Facts are units of truth. That's the point I'm trying to get across.

Yes there is. The dictionary talks of "true facts" and "real facts". That could be very confusing in certain situations.
Facts are units of truth.
Not necessarily, as I pointed out above. Facts are determined; truths exist. Facts can be determined on false premises but are not true. If you are on trial and the facts of the case point to guilt and the truth is that you are innocent, you are in trouble.
